re: At what age did you start cutting grass?

I lived in Mississippi until I was 9 and never cut it there. But would “drive” the riding mower at my grandparents house about 30 minutes away in Alabama. My grandpa was working the pedals and let me steer. Then we moved away and had a massive yard that needed a riding mower. My dad wanted no part of that and we had a yard man take care of it. Didn’t cut grass again until college at a summer job. Bought our current house in 2007, so I started taking care of that. I was 26. Like others have said, I like the solitude for a couple of hours every other weekend in the summer. My oldest boy will be 7 this summer so another couple of years before I let him. I have a push mower, no self propelled action there. He should be able to manage the front yard by then and I can run the edger and weed eater while he cuts. The back is a little hilly but he might be able to manage it then as well.
